smoke odour

[Mikejf]

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a house but the owner is a smoker and the whole house stinks of smoke. I would plan to replace all flooring but is there a paint product available that I can just paint all the walls and ceilings with that will block all odour and stains before I paint a final top coat?

Many Thanks

Just leave the windows open and it will soon fade away.

Learn about how odours work and you'll realise you are talking rubbish.

Your saying the tobacco stain will disappear on it's own ?

 

[joe-90]

What is it your nose detects? Have you never seen a room deodoriser getting smaller?

If I went to a smoky bar and came home smelling of smoke - are you saying I will always smell of smoke?

Mike, Joe is right here, if the areas are well ventilated the odours will soon disappear, yet the application of an emulsion paint over nicotine will cause it to bleed through the paintwork. Just apply a thinned oil base undercoat over the affected areas and allow to dry prior to your finish coats.

i was on about the stain not the smell

I'm an x smoker and decorator.

You still have to paint, need it in punjabi ??? If you look dead hard, you will see the words stain

I did see it, yet the point of the thread was the odour from the nicotine and not the stain, Joe based his advice on this and I agreed with him.
